Daily schedule — what a typical camp day looks like

Each day begins with prayer and breakfast. After breakfast is generally worship and devotional time. The next few hours are for group specific activities; in a main camp session that might look like breaking out into workshops until lunchtime. After lunch is when campers will have the chance to swim, play camp games, and do the challenge course activities. After dinner, there will be more time for worship, lessons, campfires, games, and camp specific programming.

Programs & camp life

BSCC mission and founding — 75 years serving the Restoration Movement

In 1949 Butler Springs Christian Camp was founded by several men from the area who saw the property and had a vision. Now 75 years later, we are still serving the churches of the Restoration Movement from areas in, near, or around Dayton, Cincinnati, Chillicothe, Columbus, northern Kentucky, and towns all over southwest Ohio. Over the years, BSCC has kept its foundation, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thousands of young people have given their lives to the Lord through the "Living Springs" of Butler Springs. Lives have been changed, ministries have been launched throughout the world by the influence of this camp.

For parents & families

Drop-off — medication check-in and bunk setup with parents

At drop-off, camp staff will confirm that each camper is paid for and participation waivers have been completed. You will be assigned to your dorm at this time as well. If your camper has any medications, this will be the time to check them in with our first-aid staff. Parents will be able to go with campers staying on main camp to help them set up their bunks. Once beds are made, camp begins!

Financial aid — scholarships available for families in need

We never want money to be a hindrance in a child coming to camp, so we do have scholarships available to campers. If you are a member of one of our supporting churches, we encourage families to see if they offer any assistance for families. We also have various ways to financially assist families.

Medical care — First Aid Person on staff every day

Butler Springs will ALWAYS have a First Aid Person on staff everyday of camp. If your child needs medicine administered; care for minor cuts, scratches; headaches; stomach aches; etc.…, our qualified First Aid Person will take care of the situation at hand. If the situation is serious or something that the First Aid Person does not have the qualifications for, parents will be the first to be notified.
